 | Is there a way to hide all lines in a buffer that don't begin with a
certain string? ie. only show lines beginning with #define

Yes, get hide-lines.el, you may be also interested in hide-region.el.

Yes, of course!
M-x occur
And when you are prompted to enter a regular expression, type "^#define"
(without the doube quote marks) and hit . The "^" means "at the
beginning of a line".
Have fun!

Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter
(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
